Aberdeen's Manager Hunt Hits Snag
18 Feb
Summary
- Eirik Horneland is no longer a clear candidate for manager.
- Personal issues have complicated the deal for Horneland.
- Aberdeen may need to seek alternative candidates.

Aberdeen's pursuit of Eirik Horneland for their managerial vacancy has encountered significant complications. What was initially a clear path has become uncertain due to personal matters outside the club's control. This has led to a situation where Aberdeen's leadership is unsure if Horneland will be available for the role.
The club has been searching for a permanent manager for over six and a half weeks since Jimmy Thelin's departure. With the uncertainty surrounding Horneland, Aberdeen may need to accelerate their search for an alternative candidate. They have engaged in discussions with other individuals, but no clear frontrunner has emerged.
This prolonged period with an interim team is creating pressure, especially if results deteriorate. The unresolved situation means Aberdeen must weigh the possibility of Horneland's appointment against the need to start fresh with another candidate to bring clarity to the club's future leadership.
